Carson, California rapper Reason was a guest on the show BACKONFIGG, and he accused his label TDE of botching up the rollout of his album Porches.
That led to co-president Anthony “Moosa” Tiffith Jr. calling in and saying the label never wanted to sign him.
Moosa is the son of TDE boss Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith Sr., by the way. [Jump to the 14:57-mark]

"We had certain features lined up that could’ve went through,” Reason claimed. “We had the budget, we had the feature lined up, takes too long to get pushed through, feature price ended up going up or something goes away. Content ideas lined up, not executed. Rollout ideas lined up, not executed."
“It was a few different things," he further explained. "I had Latto lined up for something, not executed. I had EST Gee lined up, not executed. Like, us not pushing through. Features lined up, we got a price set, video and verse for the love, takes too long.”
Then when Moosa called in, he implied that Reason isn't doing enough to get himself out there.
"Can you name me 10 Reason songs?" Moosa asked the hosts. “Oh yeah, you could’ve got an EST Gee feature but what does that do for Reason? Like, what’s that gon’ do for Reason? Even when you say you can’t get in contact with SZA and all that. You done had features from everybody, including Q. I’m just trying to understand it, man ... Dave never wanted to sign Reason. He called him a 'substitute teacher.'"
Do you think Reason should stay on the label, go elsewhere, or do his own thing at this point?
